Amazingly Charmed Stay!
nice touchgreat selectionfriendly staffcold floor
The complimentary minibar in my room was SUCH a nice touch. I found a great selection of drinks. Breakfast in the chapel restaurant was AMAZING!!! The setting added an lovely start to each day. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful.
The underfloor heating in the bathroom didn't work, so the floor was very cold. That was a minor inconvenience.

mixed feelings about this jail stay
spacious roomdirty teapotslow service
the room was reasonably spacious, and the ensuite bathroom included a freestanding bathtub.
The teapot in my room was visibly dirty with old tea stains, so i cleaned it myself. It certainly wasn't a pleasant start. the service in the champagne bar was slow. One staff member was overwhelmed, and we waited an unreasonable amount of time for drinks. the staff seemed disorganized in the restaurant too, and i stood waiting without acknowledgement before being seated. food quality wasn't worth the price either

Superb Historical Stay

I found the hotel unique. The setting is jaw dropping. The room delivered with ultra modern facilities, yet the walls take you back hundreds of years. I especially appreciated the excellent bathroom designwith underfloor heating (it kept the floor warm).
The breakfast queues were a bit long. It seemed like they needed more staff to clear tables.
